Diary of a War Crime: A gripping, London crime thriller (A DC Ruth Hunter Murder Case Book 1)by Simon McCleave

London, 1997. A series of baffling murders. A web of political corruption. DC Ruth Hunter thinks she has the brutal killer in her sights, but there’s one problem. He’s a Serbian War criminal who died five years earlier and lies buried in Bosnia. 

When Detective Constable Ruth Hunter is called to the death of a pensioner in South London, she becomes convinced that it is not as routine as it first appeared. There are links to the death of another pensioner which suggest a link back to the Bosnian War of the early 1990s.

With the investigation thwarted at every turn, Ruth soon realises she may have stumbled upon a political cover-up in the lead up to the 1997 General Election. As she races against the clock, Ruth believes the man she is tracking is a Serbian War criminal who supposedly died in Bosnia five years earlier. Can Ruth find the notorious ‘Butcher of Strigova’ before he murders again to cover his tracks?     

‘Diary of a War Crime is the first book in the DI Ruth Hunter Crime prequel series. If you like chilling police procedurals, true-to-life characters, and psychological twists, then you’ll love Simon McCleave’s page-turning thrill ride.

Surreal Absurdityby Jim Lively

What is it about Charles Pierce that makes people want to kill him?
He’s retired from his law practice, does pro bono work for non-profits, and has turned all his attention to focus on his art. He even rented a studio, as part of a gallery where exhibitions are well attended and the wine flows freely.
So why does a mysterious and hostile young man threaten him, while the woman who tried to poison him last year shows up at an exhibition to purchase one of his abstract paintings?
Charles can’t seem to avoid associating with criminals. Even Detective Gonzales believes he is somehow involved in a series of local murders because his business cards are found at the scene.
No one, least of all Charles, can explain it, but the more he seeks clues and answers, the more he finds the whole situation to be a Surreal Absurdity.

Big Billionaire Bossby Ali Parker

A major cosmetics company is looking for America’s next sweetheart to be their perfume cover girl, and honey, that just ain’t me.

Or I didn’t think it was.

My brother offered me a chunk of change to behave in our family-owned restaurant for one day, and that’s the day handsome walked back into my life.

My brother’s best friend from school.

But he’s a big shot now, working for the billionaire owner of this company that’s offering me a shot.

And the old man doesn’t have an heir, so my handsome first love is in line for the jackpot.

Together, they’re on the hunt for the girl next door.

Unfortunately, due to me behaving for a day, the old man my guy works for decides I’m just the girl for the job.

He couldn’t be more wrong, but if it means more money in my pocket and stealing a few more minutes of my first love’s attention, I’m in.

Fake sweetheart that pleases the crowd? That’s me.

The best part is that with all of this money, I’ll get to pursue my dream of becoming a romance author.

There’s only one catch to this sweeping Cinderella story–I’m highly allergic to perfume.

No turning back now. The contract is signed and the games have begun.

All I can do now is jump in and literally hold my breath.

I’m ready for the ride of a lifetime with my big billionaire boss.
